About the photographer (snap shots & blurb)

Brian Thomas abandoned fine art photography of classic still lifes in the mid 1980’s to make a series multimedia presentations collectively entitled If Monks had Macs. In 2010 ‘The Oxford History of the Book’ was published with this assessment of the historical significance of Monks:

"The choices in If Monks Had Macs ... were prophetic: … [it] not only introduced a new medium, but also set the intellectual and cultural paradoxes within which the e-book still operates.

Now Brian is developing an approach to digital photography that, like his earlier work, exploits the full potential of the personal computer.
